[Atrix 4G General] fancydevil:
i guess what im asking is I have an atrix on a 2gb plan right now.. so I could put my simcard into an iphone 2g activate it, then get a csr to upgrade my atrix to unlimited data since the option will be there on their system since it will appear I had an existing unlimited data plan?

from what i gather this is what people are saying just making sure i'm not doing all of this in vain.

thanks for any help.
[Atrix 4G General] spacev:
Yes! If your SIM has never been registered with the iPhone before, which it shouldnt since you probably got a new 4G (yeah right) SIM.

And your iPhone must be un-hacked ;) Lost a ton of work there myself but it was worth it :)
[Atrix 4G General] yokopol:
it works great...just did 2 phones within 2 days;) bought iphone on crg with cracked screen but it worked. iam in nyc/nassau area if anybody needs iphone pm me
[Atrix 4G General] shawn1224:
Okay I just got an iphone 2G.

To clarify, do I have to restore it to factory settings? or just plug it into itunes with my simcard?

I did a hard reset but it didn't seem to delete anything from the phone. Angry Birds and few other apps are still on there.

Also, once I get the 2G plan do I need to keep my simcard in the iphone when I take it to an AT&T retail store? Have them change it over to a 3G unlimited first, then put in my Inspire?

Thanks for any help, I just want to get all the steps correct on the first go round.
[Atrix 4G General] shawn1224:
So if it has Cydia it won't work?
[Atrix 4G General] nomisunrider:
Any know anyone that works at ATT that can confirm this will no longer work after April?
[Atrix 4G General] yokopol:
i didnt do any reset at all, put simcard in iphone, register it on itunes, choose unlimited with 200 text for$20 and you done. wait till activation email comes, check on att website on your account if the plan is there. take simcard out, put into your new phone and go to att store to change it to smartphone unlimited for $30. did one last night at midnite, at 11am had unlimited done in the store.
[Atrix 4G General] idealz:
i had a jailbroken iphone 2g. had to reset it for it to work.
[Atrix 4G General] jthornton71707:
I don't think anyone can confirm it really until Its gone. I know what the Rep told me when I called though "there's a loophole and it should be closed by the end of the month" then other CSRs have been telling the same so I don't see why multiple would have been misinformed. Don't risk it try today.
[Atrix 4G General] moondrius:
The phone has to not be activated which is usually going to require plugging it into itunes and hitting restore on the main iphone tab. If you just do a data wipe the phone will still be activated.

Hello,

I just bought my new (Unlocked) T-Mobile HTC Touch Pro 2 from e-bay . I am excited about it.

(I don't live in US)

It comes with windows mobile 6.5 Professional

ROM version - 1.91.531.4 (74508) WWE

ROM date - 12/15/09

Radio Version - 4.49.25.57

Protocol Version - 61.44tc.25.32AU

Model No : T-Mobile- Rhodium

I have learnt a lot from this forum. Now, i have a question.

Since my phone is unlocked, if i hard reset it, will it get locked again?

If it doesn't, i would like to flash a new ROM on my phone.

Can i flash good ROM like Energy on my phone.

Please don't neglect!! Please Advice!!

Thank you.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] william0410:
so i have a question about xrecovery...

on my sd card there is a file called data.img

do i need this?

As far as i know the backups are located in sd card>xrecovery>backup, but this file is in sd card>xrecovery...it is 512 mb so it is taking up a BIG chunk of my sd card

Im trying to find out if this file is supposed to be there or if it just got there somehow because it has nothing to do with my backups...anyone know?

I think its done for but I want to be sure. I've used nvflash many times to revert to stock but this time I tried the format rom (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=974422) just before I tried to revert.

So far I've tried flashing with nvflash following the directions here (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=861950) using the 1105 and the 1126 images. The format rom still completes but the stock rom gives the following output.

I've tried to use nvflash to get CM .8 back but nothing seems to work. I hope someone has an idea on how to recover from this.

Thanks in advance
[G Tablet General] Gyaq:
ok, I fixed my issue and found a new one.

1. I re-downloaded the format

and the 1126 rom files.

2. I re-ran the format rom.

3. I copied the files from "nvflash_gtablet_46_2010112600.zip" into the same directory as the format rom files and ran the new nvflash_gtablet.bat file.

For some reason this time it worked. I tried this before but for some reason it worked this time.

Once I got in I updated to 3588 using the OTA updater and now it only boots in to APX. Seems others are having the same issue. I'll keep trying to get this resolved but if anyone has some insight into this problem I'd love to hear it.
[G Tablet General] techn0crat:
Well, you probably already know, but for the sake of beginning a new, clean thread-

Using nvflash.exe, you can simply

nvflash.exe --bl bootloader.bin --format_partition 2 --go

And it will reboot your tablet without erasing anything important.

Holding down the volume key will get you into recovery mode as well, if you hold it before you press enter.

Hope we can fix this. Im tired of explaining how i fried something and it wont boot with a computer.
[G Tablet General] Gyaq:
So after many hours of searching the forums and web for different possible solutions, and trying them all, I think I'm going to throw in the towel. Mine is still in the 30 days for a return so I think I'll just return it and get another.

All my issues started when I tried the format rom, so that's one I'll not do again.

Good luck to everyone still fighting to get their gtab to boot out of APX mode.
[G Tablet General] K J Rad:
You might have better luck with the 1105 image. I would give that one more try before you give up. You might also need to reinstall ClockworkMod and repartition your internal sdcard.
[G Tablet General] notwen:
When you say you can only get into APX mode, will the unit not power up at all or are you only getting bootloops of the Viewsonic and G-Tablet screens?
[G Tablet General] techn0crat:
APX mode is like fastboot mode in other devices.

On the gtablet, it is a blank, unlit screen.

It waits for a command from a host device, and once it gets one, the screen lits up black with a single line of text.

Its as if the unit doesnt power up, but it really does. The only way to tell is to have it plugged up to a computer.

I mean, you can use nvflash to boot it.

And i will try the 1105 image in the next 24 hours and report if it got the device to boot independently.

I am running Vegan 5.1.1 and tried to install 10.2 this afternoon from the market but it said my device wouldn't support it....is that because it's rooted? What do I need to do to fix that?

Here is my reason for asking....I have a fantasy baseball draft tomorrow the draft tool requires the most up to date browser and flash player....it just spins and never loads up in standard browser or skyfire.

Any ideas would be much appreciated.
[G Tablet General] sjmoreno:
10.2 from the Market should work fine for you. You will only need the hacked version if you use HULU. But sites like Fox Television will work fine with the regular one. You might want to also download AdFree from the market if you want to skip the ads.
[G Tablet General] wickedhog:
that's what I thought but how do I get it since the market wont let me?

[G Tablet General] sjmoreno:
Have you tried to forget the connection and then reconnect to it?
[G Tablet General] tcrews:
have you done the "Market Fix" on your tablet. The web market and the market app on your device point to the same pool of apps. If you can't see it on your device's market app then you can't push it to your tablet from the web.

Adobe Flash Player 10.2 should install from your tablets Market app. If you aren't see it, do the Market Fix.
[G Tablet General] goodintentions:
You need to perform market fix. Takes all of 50 seconds. Read op of this thread.

Try the android app section of freewarelovers.com. I had the same problem of my gtablet not showing up in the android market properly, but this did the trick.
[G Tablet General] magqccom:
Google has some funky rules about what app is available to a device that connects to the market. Your mileage will vary.

Every time I flashed a rom this past week, I was only able to see flash player BEFORE doing the market fix. After doing the market fix, I saw a bunch of other apps, but no flash player.

So check both before and after doing the market fix.
[G Tablet General] wickedhog:
thanks everybody....once I actually performed the 5.1.1 update my problems began to get worse and then much , much better.

I checked into a hotel yesterday with the family that had an unsecured wifi connection and it connected immediately. From there I re-installed my apps INCLUDING 10.2 and other Tegrazone apps I couldn't get before running 5.1.1

Got hom tonight, still can't connect to my secure wifi router but I am running a test taking the security off to see if that solves the local problem

Greetings All!

With the onslaught of questions and concerns that have been directed at me, I have decided that there may be a few items that would need to be addressed in an additional video. I am looking for input from you, my viewers, as to what you would like me to cover.

I have already decided that I am going to go over the installation of khalpower's new v2 and I will step through the usability and features of it. I will also discuss the differences between the versions out there, and what patches are. I can discuss the differences between apps2sd, link2sd, and all of that stuff. I will also probably give me own opinions as to what everyone SHOULD be running, and what I deem to be the perfect setup.

I encourage you to speak up in this thread and tell me what you need from a new video. Obviously, YouTube restricts me to 15 minutes per video, so if I need to, I can always do more than one. I was originally going to make a new video tomorrow, but I decided that I would give the XDA community a chance to give me your thoughts first.

Try to be coherent, and if something has already been requested, request it anyway. The more requests for a specific subject, the more likely it will be covered.

With your input, and my mad editing skills, I hope to help as many of you as possible with this new series of video.

Let the requests begin!

Setup of apps2ext or link2sd

pleeease explain the setup for the khalpowers apps2sd, there have been so many versions and setups directions. The choices don't help either, this will hopefully make everything clear for us noobs! your 8 min tutorial and instructions helped me start out. So thanks again for all your hard work :) sometimes we forget how hard it is to figure things out the first time, now looking back, it seems to be a breeze.
[Milestone XT720 General] Beako:
Yeah, to this day, I'm still on stock 2.1 with App2SD. It's more of a MOTOROLA Y U LOCK BOOTLOADER issue for me.
[Milestone XT720 General] IronMit:
Links2sd

your videos have been great.

A video walkthrough of how to activate links2sd would be superb. - conflicting information out there has me confused

....and like you said the differences between links2sd, apps2sd.. apps2ext etc... like which one is faster/ your recommendations

this may not be relevant or urgent but if it is...(if this still hasn't been fixed yet) sorting out the keyboard dictionary, my english version 2.1 one was brilliant but since 2.2 versions auto-correct has been hopeless

Much appreciated. your first videos helped a noob (me) improve his phone
[Milestone XT720 General] syrenz:
Right now I'd like to see a clear tutorial for installing Khal's ROM (whatever version is current) and his honeycomb theme for that, since those are the things I'd like to do (though I may have already figured it out by the time you get the vid up) :p ).

EDIT:

Oh and if you could clear up if ROMs like Khal's can be installed over things like Mioze7ae's patch (currently running Dexter's 1.3 with Mioze7ae's patch .2) with no issue, that would be fantastic.

Thanks, it's great to have people like you on this forum. :D

Putting Things back as Was ..

REV -

I would like to see a video where we can back up a phone with all its content before say applying a new custom ROM. Then if the ROM doesnt work we can put the phone back to as it was. THis may then give a bit of security to people wishing to flash about etc knowing that they can put all back as was.

thanks
[Milestone XT720 General] IronMit:
i just realised your previous videos on using gparted etc has enough information for those wanting to use link2sd on khals Rom. So all one would have to do is follow those directions- add a 'Link2sd' folder instead of an 'apps' folder and flash the Rom like in your dexter videos.

Tell me if i'm missing any key steps so i'l wait for your video!

[Milestone XT720 General] banshee56:
I just wanted to thank you, first of all. Your videos have been great for me since I am also a Cincinnati Bell customer. I loved my first smartphone (BB Curve) for the email and flexibility it gave me as a small business owner, but Cincy Bell was no longer offering a large screen BB and I was having trouble reading email and web on the small Curve screen, so I got the XT720. Once I realized the memory limitations of Eclair, I set out to find a way to get Froyo on my XT720 and your vids were perfect for me.

This is what I want to see, but if there is a way for you discuss the best setup for performance, battery saving, and a good mixture, I'm up for that too since it seems to be the one common downfall for just about every large screen smartphone owner.

[Milestone XT720 General] SilverKeiser:
Open Recovery question...

You just breeze through the Open Recovery sequences on your videos by clicking a couple of icons and away you go... I have downloaded open recovery and still have not figured out how to install it on the phone. You unzip the files to the root on the SD card but then when I go to look at the files with the Astro file manager I do not see anything like what you are describing. So how about a little clarifaction on the installation of OR. Thanks :confused:
[Milestone XT720 General] reverendkjr:
I'm going to assume that you have watched more than just the recent install video. In my original instructional video, I clearly explain how to install open recovery from the original dexter's package. It's very simple:

This is the structure of the original dexter package. Copy these files to your SD card. After you have rooted, and installed a file manager, use it to install Openrecovery.apk (Please see the picture) Then reboot. Once it reboots, go into your menu and you will see the icon. Once you start up the app, first click the top button, wait for it to say "Successful." then click the reboot button (That is the second button down.) If, at any time, the app wants superuser access, you want to say "YES".
[Milestone XT720 General] Mioze7Ae:
Those icons are part of Dexter's Open Recovery installer. Dexter has an OpenRecovery.apk app inside his ROM downloads. The video describes installing Dexter's ROMs.
[Milestone XT720 General] SilverKeiser:
So where does one download "Dexter's original package..."? I Googled that and nothing relating to this subject came up. You seem to assume that I am supposed to somehow already know this? How do you arrive at that conclusion? What is the link to your "original instruction video"?
[Milestone XT720 General] SilverKeiser:
What video would that be? Link?
[Milestone XT720 General] SilverKeiser:
So where does one find the "original Dexter package"?

[Milestone XT720 General] SilverKeiser:
essential elements

So, let us assume that Open Recovery is an essential element that is needed on your phone in order to install any of Dexter's ROM's... I gathered this from watching the Rev's vids. So I innocently asked: how do you install OR on your phone? I got my derrier chewed off and I am told: "It is on Dexter's ROM's"... "You are not listening"... "It is on my instructional video"... etc.

O.K. If I need OR on my phone to install Dexter's ROM's and Dexter's ROM's have the OR install on them then how does the Chicken cross the road? My point is that you are saying that one cannot install the ROM's without OR but you then claim that OR is on the Rom's. ???

Back to my original question: How do you install OR on your phone (without OR on your phone)? :p
[Milestone XT720 General] Mioze7Ae:
Oh, my god. Really?

Did you read Dexter's installation instructions? Will you please just do that? Pretty please? Can you read them? It says how to do this. Why is this so hard? I told you exactly where to find the instructions and which file to download. If you don't understand one of his steps can you tell us where you are stuck? Will you please just drop the attitude?

Frankly, you should really reconsider modding your phone. You will brick it.
[Milestone XT720 General] SilverKeiser:
Did I read "Dexter's installation instructions"? No, Where can I find them? Was a link given in the Rev's videos? You like to blow a lot of smoke but you never give any links to anything that you refer to... Talk is cheap.
[Milestone XT720 General] Mioze7Ae:
They're in the first post of Dexter's 2.2.1 Froyo development thread, and also in a text file inside Dexter's ROM downloads.
[Milestone XT720 General] SilverKeiser:
Did I read Dexter's instructions?

I think the point of the Rev's videos on the Dexter ROM installs were to listen to him... not to Dexter. If his advice was to follow D's instructions then why did he make the vids? He should have just reposted D's instructions with his interpretations...

He was unclear regarding the Open Recovery app and never really explained how to get it on your phone before following his instructions on installing the ROM's. :p
